An Active Research Program Focused on Undergraduates

MTSU Chemistry involves more chemistry and biochemistry undergraduates in cutting
edge research than any other chemistry department in the state of Tennessee. In the
field of chemistry, employers, graduate programs, and pre-professional schools all
look for college graduates with research experience. This is because research equips
students with technical expertise, critical thinking skills, and problem solving abilities
that are unique to the research learning environment. Chemistry undergrads at MTSU
are involved in a wide range of research, including drug discovery, nanotechnology,
synthesis and testing of new materials, computational chemical modeling, environmental
studies, and chemistry education outreach.
